At this moment, while Yuuko was in the kitchen cooking, the two best friends sat upright, looking at each other.
The expressions of the two women differed; Raiden Ei's eyes were filled with hesitation, seemingly pondering something.
Yae Miko also wore a slightly serious expression, sensing that Raiden Ei might have something important to discuss with her.
After a long wait, Raiden Ei finally spoke:
"Miko, I hear you've been working hard these past few days. That's quite rare."
Yae Miko waved her hand helplessly, "Isn't this necessary so I can go play on Watatsumi Island with Emma later?"
After speaking, Yae Miko looked at Raiden Ei with a strange expression:
"Ei, you wouldn't happen to want to come along too, would you?"
Raiden Ei shook her head, "No, Inazuma still needs me right now. I cannot leave Inazuma freely."
Hearing this, Yae Miko breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that this person, Raiden Ei, would tag along.
That would truly interrupt the world she shares alone with Yuuko.
Raiden Ei sighed softly, "Not yet, at least."
"Hmm?" Yae Miko frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
But just as she was about to ask something, Raiden Ei smiled and spoke first:
"In any case, I will handle the matters between Inazuma and Snezhnaya later, Miko, so you don't need to worry too much."
I'm not worried about Inazuma, I'm worried about you coming along and ruining the time Emma and I have alone... Yae Miko thought for a moment, then said helplessly:
"Forget it. With Ei around, there definitely won't be any problems. If push comes to shove, you can always consult with that kid Ayato. He's very shrewd."
"Mhm." Raiden Ei nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Yae Miko stretched and shifted the topic to other matters:
"So, Ei, you couldn't possibly have come here just for this small matter, could you?"
Raiden Ei was silent for a moment, then spoke:
"In fact, I came today to confirm one thing. I just can't figure it out, especially after receiving the photo from Yuuko earlier."
Yae Miko, who had been looking carefree, immediately changed her expression upon hearing the word 'photo.'
She sensed something was wrong!
Raiden Ei looked at Yae Miko with a serious expression:
"Miko, what is your reasoning for interacting with him consistently in the form of a fox? I truly... cannot understand it."
Hearing this question, Yae Miko's mouth twitched slightly.
It was true that whatever she tried to avoid, inevitably appeared.
This was the one thing Yae Miko feared being asked whenever she met Raiden Ei.
She couldn't possibly say that she initially just intended to turn into a fox to tease Yuuko, but after a round of petting, she became addicted, and subsequently never looked back, always appearing before Yuuko as a fox, right?
After a moment, Yae Miko sighed helplessly:
"Can you please not ask such a dangerous question here? If Emma finds out, how am I supposed to face him later..."
In fact, after everything that had happened.
The one thing Yae Miko was most reluctant to face was exposing the fact that she was the little fox.
After all, they had bathed together, she had used her body to scrub Yuuko's back, and she had even been put in diapers... If it were exposed, how embarrassing would that be!
How could she ever face Yuuko again!
If she were discovered and Yuuko said, "Why are you such a pervert, wanting to do that kind of thing with me while transformed into a small animal?"
Even someone as shameless as Yae Miko would break down!
As luck would have it, at that moment, Yuuko walked into the living room carrying several plates of food and looked at the two women in confusion:
"What were you two just talking about? What was it that you said if I knew about it?"
Yae Miko instantly panicked:
"Hahaha... Nothing at all. I was just discussing some private matters between women with Ei. Emma, don't worry about it..."
The panic of this scum woman was an extremely rare sight.
Yuuko raised an eyebrow but didn't pay it much mind, smiling:
"Dinner is ready. Let's eat first."
And so, the three of them happily began to chow down on the meal.
Midway through the meal, Raiden Ei did not forget to ask:
"Yuuko, you are planning to go sightseeing on Watatsumi Island with Miko later, right? When do you plan to leave?"
Yuuko replied while eating, "The day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow..." Raiden Ei fell into contemplation, seemingly thinking about something.
After a long moment, she looked at Yuuko meaningfully, "Then I wish you a smooth trip."
Yuuko also looked like he understood completely, nodding, "Mhm."
This left Yae Miko, who was sitting next to them, dumbfounded.
Why did it feel like the two of you were communicating through eye contact?
Since when were the two of you this close?
"Ahem..." Yae Miko cleared her throat, interrupting the two, then spoke to change the subject:
"Speaking of which, since Emma is going to Watatsumi Island, have you figured out exactly where on Watatsumi Island you want to visit?"
Faced with this question, Yuuko thought for a moment and replied:
"I don't know yet. We'll decide once we get there. I hear the scenery is quite nice, so sightseeing would be great."
After speaking, Yuuko added worriedly:
"What I'm more worried about now is the little fox."
"However, I've asked the Shogun to help look after it, so I shouldn't have to worry too much."
Yae Miko's face twitched slightly, "I think you really shouldn't have to worry about it..."
At this moment, Raiden Ei, who had been focused on chowing down, couldn't help but laugh:
"That's right, you don't need to worry about the little fox."
"Is that so?" Yuuko looked at Raiden Ei and Yae Miko suspiciously, feeling like they were hinting at something.
But he didn't dwell on it, smiling, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just hurry up and eat."
And just like that, the three of them happily continued eating.
After finishing the meal, Raiden Ei had no intention of staying and quickly left.
Yae Miko, perhaps because she was in a good mood, only shamelessly lingered for a while before leaving as well.
After both women had left.
It wasn't long before the little fox came home.
Looking at the fluffy, adorable little fox, Yuuko thought to himself.
Since he would be leaving for a while, the little fox might feel lonely and empty without him, right?
Therefore, Yuuko planned to pull the little fox into the bathroom tonight.
To take a bath together and properly cultivate their relationship!
Fortunately, the little fox was also unusually cooperative!
It was clearly in a very good mood.
Of course, it might also be because it had been thoroughly petted during previous baths!
In any case, if the little fox was willing to enter the bath with him, that was a win!
Of course, ever since the neighbor complained before, Yuuko had been relatively restrained.
When giving the little fox a full-body massage, he would try his best not to touch its sensitive spots.
This way, the little fox wouldn't whine so suggestively or so loudly.
This was Yuuko's last bath with the little fox before leaving!
Tonight, the little fox once again diligently used its fluffy, wet body to comfortably scrub Yuuko's back.
The sensation was as comfortable as always.
